Exercise

Everyone who regularly exercises reaps the advantage of a more efficient metabolism, which effectively improves both body and mind. No one can afford to get physically rusty, but when your body is already fighting disease, it needs to muster all the strength it can. This section will help you understand why and how you should address your physical needs, but always consult with your doctor first before embarking on any exercise routine.  

Nutrition

Whether you think you already eat healthy or not, now is the time to get serious about proper nutrition. Patients have the ability to contribute to their overall health - as well as optimize the production of new blood cells by their bone marrow - when they eliminate unhealthy or overly-rich food and drink and follow a diet recommended by their doctor. Food handling and preparation are just as important, so those tips are also included in this section.  

Caring for Yourself

We help you cope with your battle against bone marrow failure disease. The information we provide teaches patients and families how to be proactive members of your health care team. Patients just like you have also learned how to develop their inner strength by connecting with our community and taking advantage of our resources.

Patients

AAMDSIF hosts Patient and Family Conferences around the United States each year. Conferences are free to attend and include presentations by the leading medical experts in rare blood cancers and bone marrow failure diseases. It is also an incredible and important opportunity for patients to connect with one another and share support, answers and hope.
